Status: Work in Progress

This is a personal project showcasing how I write Go code for building a RESTful API. The project is not yet complete and should be considered a work in progress. It is intended to provide an example of my approach to structuring Go code, handling HTTP requests, and organizing the backend logic.

Overview

The project aims to create a simple API server using Go (Golang). Although some functionality is implemented, this is not a production-ready project. Features, tests, and optimizations are still being developed.

Features (so far)

• Basic RESTful API setup using Gorilla Mux
• User authentication:
  • User login with JWT authentication
  • User registration with hashed password
• PostgreSQL integration for persistent storage with database migrations
• Redis integration for caching or session management
• Graceful shutdown with context and signal handling
